    How Healthier Coping Strategies Lead to Substance Abuse Prevention

    According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, the nation's largest preventable and costly health problem is teen drug addiction. As parents, drug and alcohol abuse is something that keeps us up at night. And while we can talk with them until we're blue in the face about the dangers, we're never really sure about how effective our conversations are. Well what if addiction prevention is something all parents can help with - but it has nothing to do with talking about drugs themselves? ---Jessica Lahey is an author, writer, and speaker. She's the author of The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation. ---Sign up for Dr. Emily's weekly newsletter at www.learnwithdremily.com This is a public episode.

    From Picky Eating Battles to Positive Mealtime Relationships, with Polina Shkadron

    Have you heard of ARFID?  It stands for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which sounds pretty scary.  It's basically extremely picky eating, which can lead to poor growth and poor nutrition. Today, Polina Shkadron joins us, and she emphasizes that children with ARFID should eat for themselves rather than to please others.  Her approach prioritizes family dynamics, fostering trust and self-efficacy by supporting parental instincts and encouraging children to engage mindfully with their food, ultimately promoting healthier eating habits and enhanced family mealtime experiences. So how can we do that? ---Polina Shkadron is a neurodivergent therapist specializing in helping Autistic and ADHD kids find their strengths. ---Sign up for Dr. Emily's weekly newsletter at www.learnwithdremily.com This is a public episode.

    How to Reduce Your Stress and Encourage Autonomy in Your Children, with Dr. Emily Edlynn

    As parents, our natural instinct is to shield our children from stress. Life's hard enough as adults, so we want to let kids be carefree.  But is that strategy counterproductive and actually harmful to our children? Today, Dr. Emily Edlynn calls for a cultural shift towards balanced, autonomy-supportive parenting that prioritizes both child and parental well-being over societal pressures and external achievements.  --- Dr. Emily Edlynn is a child psychologist, mother of 3, and the author of In Your Feels: A Journal to Explore Your Emotions.

    How to Flex Talk Therapy for Neurodivergent Kids & Teens, with Dr. Matt Zakreski

    Contrary to the medical model of prescribing antibiotics or stitching up a wound, mental health is not simply about "fixing" patients. Therapists can feel pressure from parents or school staff to improve a child’s emotional or behavioral functioning as quickly as possible, but mental health is both a science and an art. It also takes trust and time. In today’s episode, Dr. Matt Zakreski and I talk about how structured approaches and time frames just don’t fit with the flexibility needed when working with neurodivergent kid and teens. Listen in as Dr. Matt and I discuss flexing the structure, timing, and modality of therapy based on a kid’s skill development, what to expect as parents when your child or teen is in therapy, and how we can empower our kids to take ownership of their mental health journey.   Tune in to find out why it's not one size fits all! ---Sign up for Dr. Emily's weekly newsletter at www.learnwithdremily.com This is a public episode.
